Title
Managing the diffusion of organizational learning behavior
Abstract
This paper addresses the need for organizations to manage the transformation from traditional hierarchical models to `learning organizations.' We propose a five-stage methodology useful in the diffusion of behaviors associated with organizational learning (OL) theory. The stages of OL diffusion are (1) agenda-setting, (2) matching, (3) restructuring, (4) clarifying, and (5) routinizing. Each stage involves both managerial (structural) or member (cultural) influences on organizational memory (OM). Salient definitions are provided and the OM aspects and deliverables associated with each OL diffusion stage are discussed. This research provides a theoretically-driven approach to help change agents diffuse and realize the potential of OL behavior in the firm.
